Erich Maria Remarque. Ham. Novel

Gam is a beautiful young woman who, with a single glance or gesture, drives anyone crazy, be it an Austrian count, a wealthy Creole, or a Parisian clerk. Beautiful and free, she travels to various corners of the world, hoping to find the one treasure elusive: love. In her most exotic novel (set in Singapore, Paris, Vietnam, and Luxor), the author describes social gatherings and luxurious interiors in detail. But they are merely a backdrop for the eternal Remarquean themes: loneliness, the search for meaning, and the unquenchable spark of life.
